I am inspired by the big patterns of the human brain's 85 billion neurons. In 2000, I embarked

on the enormous task of creating an international brain database. I am still discovering the

brain's structure-function-behavior patterns that have fueled these paintings.

This TD-bu Brain Face Series is my external imaginary mirror of the non-conscious brain.

I deliberately keep the face simplified (TOP DOWN).

​

And the bu (bottom up) of very detailed patterns seek to reflect the sublime complexity of the brain’s ongoing dynamics: of its 15 billion hugely interconnected neurons that manifest in summation, its ongoing symphony.
